You know the problem that is bedeviling this country at this particular moment. It is as a result of those aged Permanent Secretaries who cannot perform. That is why we are undergoing a lot of problems in this country. Can the Minister come up and tell us, exactly, why he is not able to respond to this Question?"

The Question is asking for Permanent Secretaries, Directors in Ministries and CEOs of State Corporations - some of which might be new and recently established - who have attained the mandatory retirement age. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as for Permanent Secretaries, I answered the Question in details and gave the reasons. As to all these categories of other officers, he wants to know the ages, places of work as well as the reasons for each individual, as to why he or she is still in service. The individuals have different terms of engagement, particularly with parastatals. The communication system goes to the Ministries and from the Ministries to the parastatals and then back through the same process to us. It has not come. I saw this Question earlier. This Question was in my desk some three weeks ago. We wrote to the Ministries. Somebody is talking about one and half years. which I am not aware of."
